In this paper, we propose the Quantum Whale Optimization Algorithm (QWOA) for feature selection, which is an amalgamation of the Quantum Concepts and the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA). The proposed method enhances the exploratory and exploitation power of the classical WOA, with the use of quan...
